And thus, I refute thee.

I tried to post some screenshot art I had done on another website (kongregate.com) but they rejected it and said it wasn't actually art. It isn't quite a photograph, but screenshot art is still original. What do you think and can anyone help with my arguement?

I think of it more like photography, but in a simulated environment, i.e. a game world.

So long as it looks good I don't see the problem.

Any way you can show me your screenshots?

If you can read this, you are looking at my signature

Screenshots are more like 3d renders than anything else. or like DarkScienceLord said, a simulated photo.

even tho I would enjoy more camera controlls like shutter and aperture, along with other manual settings.

True, true, and some people would consider, photography an art to begin with. DarkScienceLord, my screenshots are on my fileshare if your interested.

Olole, what are you suggesting? Some kind of super halo photography edition? :O
I like the sound of that :D
